Lady Butterfly
Chapter 1 - Me, me, me.
A/N: Please be kind, it's my first fanfiction! A big shout out to my friend Victoria from school!
EDIT: Thought it was a bit short, merged chapter 2 with 1.
My name is Tianna Larisa Snape. Yes, Professor Snape, Head of Slytherin House and potions master for Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yeah, I'm his daughter.
Most people think of my dad as dark, mean and sour. He's nothing like that around me. Personally, I think he's a great father and I wouldn't have anyone replace him.
This year I am starting Hogwarts. It will be my first year attending but I will be in my 3rd year, because I have been attending Beauxbatons for the last 2 years, but my dad decided it would be more practical if I attended where he was teaching. I couldn't care less really, I had no friends at Beauxbatons, and I was sure that I would have no friends at Hogwarts.
Before I boarded the Hogwarts Express, I hugged my dad goodbye (receiving many strange looks for other students) and bid him farewell. I heaved my bag and such onto the ruby red train, and waved to my dad as the train set off.
Quickly I found myself a compartment, got out a book and started reading. I checked the clock in my compartment, and only ten minutes had passed since I started reading, when suddenly the door flung open.
"You must be Snapes daughter." Said a voice.
"How can you tell?" I mumbled sarcastically, not looking up from my book. I look exactly like my father. Hooked nose, black hair and dark eyes.
"Think you're funny do you?" he spat.
"Just a bit." I said in an oh-so-casual tone of voice.
"You take after your father."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I roared. I looked up and saw a skinny, pale faced boy standing before me.
"Nothing, nothing, it's just that your father has a very large sense of sarcasm and wit." He replied cooly, waving away the thought. I continued to read my book as the boy sat beside me and read over my shoulder. Silence…
"…Uhm, do you mind?" I said.
"No, not at all."
I growled slightly, this boy was getting on my nerves.
"Draco, Draco Malfoy." He extended a hand to shake it, but took it back when I didn't move.
"Tianna Snape." I mumbled,not really wanting to answer but it would be rude not to. Once again silence.
"So.. what'cha reading?" He asked with a sweet smile.
"Well you had a big enough gawp at it before, didn't you?" I said, my temper slowly but effectively rising.
"Woah, calm down, Princess. Jst asking what you were reading," he began "No need to get eggy."
"Would you just. GO. AWAY." I roared, not being able to contain my anger.
I picked up my suitcase and other items and went to find another compartment.
This was going to be a longer train journey than I thought…
The castle came into view through the misty window. I'd never seen it before, and yet somehow I felt at home already. As I was already in my uniform (having dressed about 15 minutes ago) I waited in my seat until we were fully there.
After a couple of minutes, we were finally there. As I stared in awe, the train came to a quick halt. I stood up and went outside.
"Firs' years, come this way," a large man (assumingly half-giant) said to the first years. And then his eyes came to me. "An' you 'oo Miss. Snape." He continued, waving his hand in a gesture that meant for me to follow him, along with the tiny first years.
We sailed on small row boats to the castle. I sailed with a little 2nd year called Lucy (or so I picked up) She didn't talk much, she was too afraid that she would fall into the water.
A couple of minutes later, we were officially outside Hogwarts. I had to help Lucy off the boat because she almost fell off.
We arrived in the Great Hall, where an old hat sat on a stool waited for us.
Names were called out one after another, and then finally;
"Snape, Tianna." The croaky voice said. I walked up to the stool, trying my best to ignore all eyes on me. My eyes went to the staff table I saw my dad looking eager. I want to be in Ravenclaw, but I'm not smart. My dad reckons I will be sorted into Slytherin, but I hope not. Draco is in Slytherin, I don't want to be around him every day.
I sat on the stool, and the hat was placed on my head.
"Ah…" the sorting hat began. "This is going to be a bit… difficult…" it chuckled. I looked around and saw Draco on the Slytherin table. Oh god, please not Slytherin! The hat continued "Slytherin!" The table erupted with applause… Kill me. Kill me NOW.
I reluctantly sat on the Slytherin table beside a 5th year that began to wink at me. I shuffled away quickly when he wasn't looking. I want to be in Ravenclaw. I would prefer to be in Hufflepuff rather than Slytherin! I sighed and looked over to the staff table. There he was, assuming I was perfectly happy in Slytherin. If only, papa.
Suddenly I heard my name being called from the other side of the table. I looked up to see Draco waving at me. I waved sheepishly back and after that took no notice of him.
I had barely any dinner before I went to the common room (I followed some other Slytherins) and in there I sat down and read a book.
